A man in his early thirties, Olokose Ojo, has been murdered by ritualists neighbours who promised to assist him to get cows for his upcoming wedding ceremony in Kwara State.
It was gathered that Mr Ojo was killed just six days to his wedding by his neighbour identified as Kazeem Mohammed and his gang for ritual purposes.
Ojo, until his death, was a staff member at the National Health Insurance Scheme unit of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital.
It was alleged that Mohammed and his gang were ritualists and Mohammed had twice served jail terms.
The suspected ritualists were said to have cut the victims body into pieces, packed it into a sack and deposited it at the mortuary of the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital.
It is believed the attack was orchestrated by the kingpin of the gang and the deceased next-door neighbour named as Kazeem Mohammed who lured him to a bush in Patigi on the guise of helping him purchase three cattle to be used for the event at the rate of N350,000.
He was however murdered and his body dismembered by the gang after withdrawing over N1.2m from his account with his ATM and demanding N12 million ransom from his wife-to-be, Ilori Oluwakemi.
His body was exhumed by the police and taken to the UITH mortuary for autopsy.
The police gave the names of the other three suspects as Mohammed Chatta, Jimoh Abdulateef and Madi Jeremiah all of whom are now in custody adding that they will be charged to court once judiciary workers call off their strike.
